ABSTRACT

A combined bucket and tool holder apparatus is disclosed. Embodiments of the combined bucket and tool holder apparatus may include a bottom panel and three or more wall panels each having a bottom edge attached to the bottom panel, two side edges attached to adjacent wall panels, and a substantially flat outer surface. The bottom panel and wall panels may together form a cavity adapted to hold a liquid. Embodiments may also include a plurality of tool holders to receive and hold tools where each tool is permanently attached to an outer surface of one of the wall panels. Further embodiments may also include a pour spout integrated into one of the wall panels at a top edge of the wall panel to direct liquid being poured out of the cavity and a handle rotatably attached to two or more wall panels.

FIELD

Embodiments are in the field of work tools. More particularly,embodiments are in the field of buckets and the storage of work tools.

BACKGROUND

Users of buckets, particularly those users who are in the constructiontrades, often have the need to carry tools with them in addition to thebucket while they are performing their work tasks. One example of thiswould be people who work with concrete who typically carry a number oftrowels or other tools with them in addition to a bucket of water thatthey use for cleaning the tools during and after use. Similarly, peopleengaged in masonry or laying tile also have a need to have a bucket ofwater in addition to their tools. A person laying concrete, for example,might use a trowel to smooth out concrete and then wash the trowel in abucket of water so that the concrete does not dry and solidify on histrowel.

Trying to carry a number of tools (such as trowels) as well as a bucketof water can present difficulties as such a combination can becomeunwieldy, resulting in potential discomfort, inefficiency, andaccidents. One solution to this problem is to wear a tool belt or otherdevice that allows one to carry tools on their body. This solution,however, may result in wet tools being positioned next to a person'sclothes and the clothes becoming wet. Moreover, someone wearing a toolbelt full of tools may have to repeatedly remove the belt when they wishto take a break, work on other tasks that require different tools, orother reasons. An improved solution for carrying both tools and a bucketmay potentially provide benefits in efficiency, comfort, and/or safety.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The following is a detailed description of example embodiments of theinvention depicted in the accompanying drawings. The embodiments areintroduced in such detail as to clearly communicate the invention.However, the embodiment(s) presented herein are merely illustrative, andare not intended to limit the anticipated variations of suchembodiments; on the contrary, the intention is to cover allmodifications, equivalents, and alternatives falling within the spiritand scope of the appended claims.

Various embodiments of the present invention provide for a combinedbucket and toolbox. The following description provides specific detailsof certain embodiments of the invention illustrated in the drawings toprovide a thorough understanding of those embodiments. It should berecognized, however, that the present invention can be reflected inadditional embodiments and may be practiced without some of the detailsin the following description. In other instances, well-known structuresand functions have not been shown or described in detail to avoidunnecessarily obscuring the description of the embodiments. Whilespecific embodiments will be described below with reference toparticular configurations and systems, those of skill in the art willrealize that the disclosed embodiments may advantageously be implementedwith other substantially equivalent configurations and/or systems.

Generally speaking, a combined bucket and tool holder apparatus isdisclosed. Embodiments of the combined bucket and tool holder apparatusmay include a bottom panel and three or more wall panels each having abottom edge attached to the bottom panel, two side edges attached toadjacent wall panels, and a substantially flat outer surface. The bottompanel and wall panels may together form a cavity adapted to hold aliquid.

Further embodiments may alsoinclude a pour spout integrated into one of the wall panels at a topedge of the wall panel to direct liquid being poured out of the cavityand a handle rotatably attached to two or more wall panels.

The disclosed apparatus may provide for an effective and efficientcombined toolbox and bucket. As will be described in more detailsubsequently, a user of the disclosed bucket and tool holder apparatusmay use the apparatus to carry both liquid (such as water) and anassortment of tools. According to some uses, tools may be washed in theliquid in the bucket and then placed in a tool holder on the side of theapparatus, allowing the tools to remain close at hand while eliminatingthe need to carry dirty or wet tools on one's person. Many differentcombinations of tool holders and bucket shapes are disclosed, providingfor flexibility in design and customization for particular types ofcrafts or work.

FIG. 1 depicts a front, top, and side perspective view of a buckettoolbox with tool holders according to one embodiment. The buckettoolbox 100 of FIG. 1 includes a plurality of wall panels 108 thattogether form a wall 102. The wall 102 (and its constituent wall panels108) may be attached at their bottom edges to a bottom panel (not shownin FIG. 1) to together form a cavity that is adapted to hold liquids(e.g., water, cleaning solution), solids (e.g., sand, gravel, etc.), orother items. The wall 102 and bottom panel thus may form a type ofbucket for holding items. The depicted embodiment includes six wallpanels 108 in the wall 102 for a roughly hexagonal shape. As will bedescribed in more detail subsequently, fewer wall panels 108 may be used(e.g., three for a triangular shape, four for a square, and so on) ormore wall panels 108 may also be used (e.g., eight for an octagonalshape). Each wall panel 108 may also have a substantially flat outersurface to facilitate addition of tool holders 104, carrying the buckettoolbox 100 (by resting a flat wall panel 108 against one's leg).

The bucket toolbox 100 may also include one or more tool holders 104 toreceive and hold various tools. The tool holders 104 may each bepermanently attached to an outer surface of one of the wall panels 108.In the depicted embodiment, a single tool holder 104 (similar to thetype depicted in FIG. 3) is located on the two wall panels 108 facingthe viewer of FIG. 1 that do not include the pour spout 106. Toolholders 106 may be permanently attached to wall panels 106 in anyfashion, such as by being an integrated piece (e.g., part of the sameinjection molding form), via glue or other adhesive, via screws or boltsor other means of attachment, via magnetic force, via welding, or anyother permanent attachment methodology. Permanent attachment shall meanany type of attachment that is intended for long-term use, such as thelife of the product, and shall include attachment means that are able tobe removed via action by the user of the bucket toolbox 100.

The tool holders 104 may use any type of design adapted to hold desiredtools. In one example (such as the one described in more detail inrelation to FIGS, 3-4), the tool holder 104 may include two side panelsattached to an outer surface of a wall panel and positionedsubstantially perpendicular to the attached outer surface and two holderfront panels each attached to one of the two holder side panels andpositioned substantially perpendicular to its attached holder sidepanels. The side panels and front panels may be positioned to form ahandle slot between them to receive a handle of a tool, such as atrowel, inserted into the tool holder. This design facilitates receivingand holding a tool with a handle, including many tools associated withconstruction trades such as laying concrete (e.g., trowel, edger,groover, hand floats,), laying tile (e.g., trowels, grout floats,rubbing brick, etc.), or masonry (e.g., trowel, edger, floaty cornertool, groover, mortarboard, brick, etc;). Other tool holder 104 designsmay be adapted to receive and hold other types of items, such as levels,hammers, screwdrivers, small items (screws, tape, etc.) or other toolsor hardware items. One example design would be a solid, single piecetool holder 104 without a handle slot that could hold smaller itemswithout fear of the items falling out of the handle slot. One ofordinary skill in the art will recognize that any other design of toolholder 104 suitable for receiving and/or holding any type of tool mayalso be used.

As will be described in more detail subsequently, the tool holders 104may be attached to the wall panels 108 in a variety of configurations.One or more tool holders. 104 may be attached to a particular wall panel108, or a wall panel 108 may be without any tool holders 104. Differentdesigns of tool holders 104 may also be used on the same bucket toolbox100, providing for significant flexibility in designing a bucket toolbox100 that is customized for a particular industry or use.

The optional pour spout 106 may be integrated into one of the wallpanels 108 at its top edge. The pour spout 106 may direct liquid beingpoured out of the cavity. Pour spouts 106 are known in the art and anydesign now known or later developed may be utilized. Bucket toolbox 100may also contain an optional handle 110 (which may include a grip 112 insome embodiments). The handle 110 may be rotatably attached to two ormore wall panels 108 so that the handle 110 may lie flat when not beingused to carry the bucket toolbox 100. The handle 110 and grip 112 maytypically be formed separately from other components of the buckettoolbox 100 and, in these embodiments, may be attached at a later pointin manufacturing. Handles 110 are known in the art and any design (andmeans of attachment) now known or later developed may be utilized.

One of ordinary skill in the art will recognize that the bucket toolbox100 and its components may be made from any material or combination ofmaterials. In one embodiment, the bucket toolbox 100 and its componentsare all made of a plastic material. The entire bucket toolbox 100, forexample, may be injected-molded as a solid piece. A one-piece buckettoolbox 100 may have advantages in cost of production as well asstrength and waterproofing. In other embodiments, bucket toolbox 100 maybe composed of metal, and in yet other embodiments, other materials orcombinations of materials (e.g., partially plastic and partially metal),such as fiberglass, may be used.

FIG. 2 depicts a front, top, and side perspective cut-away view of abucket toolbox 100 with tool holders 104 according to a secondembodiment. The bucket toolbox 100 of FIG. 2 is similar to that of FIG.1 and the description of the aspects remaining the same, between the twowill not be repeated in the interest of brevity. In the bucket toolbox100 of FIG. 2, the bottom panel 202 can be seen in cut-away. The bottompanel edge 204 of the bottom panel 202 interfaces with the bottom edgesof each wall panel 108 to form the waterproof cavity.

The tool holder 104 configuration of FIG. 2 varies from that of thebucket toolbox 100 of FIG. 1. In the bucket toolbox 100 of FIG. 2, thereare two tool holders 104 that are asymmetrically placed on non-adjacentwall panels 108. The embodiment of FIG. 2 depicts only one alternativeexample of configuration of the tool holders 104.

FIG. 3 depicts a front, top, and side perspective view of a wall panel108 with a tool holder 104 according to some embodiments. The wall panel108 may have a top edge 302 and a bottom edge 304 as well as two sideedges 324. In some embodiments, each side edge 324 may be connected orotherwise attached to the side edge 324 of adjacent wall panel 108, andthe bottom edge 304 may similar be connected or otherwise attached tothe bottom panel 202 of FIG. 2. The wall panel 108 may have a wallheight 308 (i.e., distance between the top edge 302 and bottom edge 304)as well as a wall width 310;(i.e., distance between the two side edges324). In some embodiments, the wall width 310 may vary between the topedge 302 and bottom edge 304. For example, the wall width 310 may, forexample, be larger at the top edge 302 to reflect a larger “mouth” toincrease storage capacity of the bucket while still maintaining adequatestability. In an example embodiment, the wall height 308 may be aboutsixteen (16) inches tall while the wall width 310 varies fromapproximately 7.5 inches at the top edge 302 to approximately 7 inchesat the bottom edge 304. In some embodiments, the wall width 310 (or wallheight 308) may vary between different wall panels 108 in accordancewith a particular design of the bucket toolbox 100.

The wall panel 108 may have a wall thickness 306, which may vary fromthe top edge 302 to the bottom edge 304. For example, in someembodiments, the wall thickness 306 may be greater towards the bottomedge 304 than at the top edge 302 to provide for additional strength(with respect, to fluid pressure) when a full load of water is carriedin the bucket toolbox 100. In one example, a plastic wall panel 108 mayhave a wall thickness 306 of 0.25 inch at the bottom edge 304 and asmaller thickness of 0.125 inch at the top edge 302.

FIG. 3 also depicts an example tool holder 104 according to someembodiments. Tool holder 104 may include two tool holder sections 312that are each attached to the outer surface (i.e., the surface on theoutside of the bucket toolbox 100) of the wall panel 108. Each toolholder section 312 may include a holder side panel 314 and a holderfront panel 316. The holder side panels 314 may be attached to andpositioned substantially perpendicular to the outer surface 326 of thewall panel 108 in some embodiments. The holder front panels 316 may eachbe attached to and positioned substantially perpendicular to the holderside panels 314. The holder side panels 314 and holder front panels 316may be positioned to form a handle slot 316 between them to receive ahandle of a tool, such as a trowel, inserted into the tool holder 304 tofacilitate receiving and holding a tool with a handle. The tool holdersection 312 may also include a holder bottom panel 322 attached to theholder front panel 316, holder side panel 314, and outer surface 326.The holder bottom panel 322 may assist in retaining some tools place inthe tool holder 104 and prevent those tools from sliding through thetool holder 104. Two tool holder sections 312 may form the tool holder104. The tool holder 104 may typically be shorter than the wall height308 of the wall panel 108 so that it does not protrude past the wallpanel 108. A typical handle slot 316 width may be 1.5 inches toaccommodate standard-sized tools.

As described previously, the tool holder 104 of FIG. 3 is only oneexample embodiment and one of ordinary skill in the art will recognizethat any other shape or design of tool holder 104 may be used tofacilitate receiving and holding a particular tool.

FIG. 4 depicts a front, top, and side perspective view of a buckettoolbox 100 with tool holders 104 and an inserted tool according to someembodiments. The bucket toolbox 100 of FIG. 4 is similar to thosepreviously described and the description Of the similar aspects will notbe repeated in the interest of brevity. The bucket toolbox 100 of FIG. 4includes a plurality of tool holders 104 attached to different wallpanels 108. A tool 402 (such as a trowel) may be inserted into the toolholder 104 by a user by placing the tool 402 into the region formedbetween the tool holder sections 310 and the wall panel 108 itself, aswell as by aligning the handle of the tool with the handle slot 316.Once the tool 402 has been inserted, it should remain within the toolholder 104 during normal usage. The tool 402 may fall out of the toolholder 104 during abnormal usage, such as when the bucket toolbox 100 isheld upside-down or subjected to a bouncy ride in a truck. An optionalcatch, lid, or other stop (not shown) may be provided to help hold atool 402 in place if so desired.

FIG. 5 depicts a front, top, and side perspective view of a buckettoolbox 100 with a varied configuration of tool holders 104 according tosome embodiments. The bucket toolbox 100 of FIG. 4 is similar to thosepreviously described and the description of the similar aspects will notbe repeated in the interest of brevity. The bucket toolbox 100 of FIG. 4includes five wall panels 108 for a roughly pentagonal shape (ascompared to the hexagonal shape of previous embodiments). The buckettoolbox 100 of FIG. 4 also includes an alternative configuration of toolholders 104 as compared to previous embodiments. In the depictedembodiment, the left-most wall panel 108 has a single tool holder 104while the right-most wall panel 108 has two different tool holders 104.For the right-most wall panel 104, the left-most tool holder 104 is atypical tool holder 104 for a tool with a handle while the right-mosttool holder 104 does not contain a handle slot and is thus suitable forother types of tools or items. As described previously, many possibleconfigurations of wall panels 108 and tool holders 104 are contemplated.

FIGS. 6A-6D depicts top views of various bucket toolbox 100 embodimentswith different configurations of tool holders 104 and wall panels 108.The bucket toolboxes 100 of FIGS. 6A-6D are similar to those previouslydescribed and the description of the similar aspects will not berepeated in the interest of brevity.
